I can likely get it if I activate my insitutional VPN — my point was more that we should maintain the link to the freely-available preprint rather than a version...

The rationale for `scale="area"` is > This makes an area-adjusted letter-value plot a representation of the variable’s density. but in the seaborn implementation, that seems to be true of `scale="exponential"`:...

I guess I don't see how those boxes represent the density in any interpretable way?

But that's what the quote you shared from the paper claims: > Area-adjusted widths ensure that the overall area is close to one, or more precisely, if k letter values...

The visual appearance of your approach is nice. It would be helpful to have some quantification of the benefits/costs. How many more observations can your pack into the same horizontal...

Jittering on a continuous axis is illegal. The quasi-discreteness of the petal widths is a true feature of the data and to jitter would be to obscure it. (It can...

It is not a bug, in the sense that the behavior matches what is [documented](https://seaborn.pydata.org/generated/seaborn.color_palette.html): ``` Returns palette: list of RGB tuples ``` One might wish that RGBA input yields...

Yes I misspoke; I meant there are seaborn functions that work that way. Part of the challenge is that some seaborn functions (e.g. `lineplot` with an error band, `kdeplot` with...

I am -1 on adding this to `lineplot`, but am somewhat open to the idea of an `areaplot`. There are a few things one would need to think about though:...

> But isn't seaborn's theme, hue/style selection or handling of the legend superior compared to pandas' plotting features? Not really, because seaborn does all of its theming through the matplotlib...
